Headteacher Doug Stitcher has resorted to drastic measures in a bid to protect his pupils
Teachers have retrained as lollipop people after two pupils were hit by cars outside a Blackburn primary school.
The headteacher says he has made numerous attempts to liaise with the council requesting support, including the re-painting of road markings and clearer signage to remind drivers that the speed limit is 20mph, but no improvements have been made so far. "I asked for permission to train some of our Senior Leadership Team to be traffic patrol officers as we could not afford to employ another person to undertake this role.
Mr Stitcher, who joined St James' four years ago, added: "I live in Merseyside and I've never seen roads as bad as this before." At the time, council officer Gina Lambert said: "A police check for the last 12 months showed 12 recorded vehicle versus vehicle and street furniture collisions. There have been no recorded pedestrian collisions.
